What is an enzyme?
|
A type of protein that changes rate of chemical reactions
|

|
|
What does an enzyme act on?
|
Substrates
|
<
|
|
What factors affect enzyme activity?
|
Temperatures that are extremely high or low & the pH balance.
|
Degree
|
|
What are the phases of the cell cyle?
|
Interphase, mitosis, & cytokinesis
|
Three
|
|
What controls the cell cycle?
|
Proteins called cylcins attach to enzymes to activate control of the cell
|
Cyclins
|
|
In which phase do the sister chromatids line up down the middle of the cell?
|
Metaphase
|
Second phase
|
|
What are sister chromatids? [Be able to draw an example]
|
Sister chromatids are two pairs of chromatin joined by a centromere.
|
Pair
|
|
What structure holds sister chromatids together?
|
Centromere
|
Center
|
|
What is the longest phase of the cell cycle & what happends during this phase?
|
The longest phase of the cell cycle is interphase, when the cell has rapid growth & DNA synthesis.
|
Rapid growth
|
|
What occurs during prophase?
|
Chromatin begin to coil up
|
Coil
|
|
What is cytokinesis?
|
Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides after mitosis to complete the cell division process.
|
Division
|
|
What limits cell growth?
|
As the volume of a cell grows more rapidly than the surface area, therefore a large cell will have less surface area compared to the volume.
|
Surface area/volume
|
|
What stage do chromasomes split apart by the spindle fibers?
|
Anaphase
|
Third phase
|
|
What limits cell size?
|
Diffusion limits cell size.
|
|
|
Where do light-dependent reactions occur?
|
Thylakoid
|
Uses pigments
|
|
Where do light-independent reactions occur?
|
Stroma
|
Jelly-like fluid inside the cholorplast
|
|
How does ATP store energy?
|
It stores energy in chemical bonds between phosphate molecules.
|
Bonds
|
|
How does ATP release energy?
|
It breaks the bonds
|
POP!
|
|
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
|
6C0[2]+6H[2]0 ---> C[6]H[12]0[6] + 60[2]
|
carbon dioxide + water = sugar + oxygen
|
|
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
|
C[6]H[12]0[6] + 60[2] ---> 6C0[2] + 6H[2]0
|
Sugar + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
|
|
What are some ways that living things use energy?
|
Living things use energy to do everything, even breathe.
|
Everything
|
|
In respiration, what is the final e-receptor? (electron receptor)
|
Oxygen
|
Breath
|
|
What pigment in plants traps sunlight?
|
Chlorophyll
|
Green
|
|
What is adenosine diphosphate made of?
|
It has one adenosine molecule & two phosphate molecules bonded together by NRG.
|
Three molecules
|
|
What is the main purpose of the calvin cycle?
|
It makes sugar
|
Yummy
|
|
True or false: Glycolysis occurs in both animals & plants?
|
True
|
T
|
|
What is a gene?
|
A segment of DNA that directs enzyme production
|
Enzymes
|
|
In what organelle does photosynthesis take place?
|
Chloroplast
|
Green
|
|
What are some causes of cancer?
|
Some are environmental like cigarette smoke or air & water pollution, others are just in your genes, where either too many are produces, they are produced at the wrong time, or the wrong kind are produced.
|
Type, number, time
|
|
What is the difference between aerobic & anaerobic processes?
|
Aerobic requires oxygen, which anaerobic does not.
|
Oxygen
|
